I'm hesitant to leave a review here because this place has long been viewed by our group of friends…read moreas a hidden gem, and we'd like to keep it hidden. But if any place deserves recognition for doing everything right, it's the incredible people who make French Woods a home away from home. It started as a place where a dozen friends, living around the metropolitan area, could spend a weekend golfing, drinking, and telling stories around a campfire. It quickly morphed into something much more. To start, the golf course offers what city courses never could; a round in under 5 hours, wide open fairways, and no sounds other than the sounds of nature and the occasional expletive from an errant shot. The fact that cabins, which are more like 2 story homes, are located right on the course, provides an unparalleled convenience and comfort. All of this can be found through a simple google search. What google couldn't tell you, is the unmatched hospitality by the owner, Russell, and everyone who makes the clubhouse feel like a family waiting to greet you at the turn. Linda and Angie are always there to give you a good ribbing based on how terrible you looked off the first tee. But they're also there to walk you through the days specials, which never cease to feel like the best home cooked meal you've had in ages. Google also couldn't tell you quite how it feels to tee the ball up on the elevated 16th hole. To look around at the beautiful landscape and think "you know, it just doesn't get any better than this." Nor what it feels like to tee a second one up when you inevitably slice that first one into the woods trying to drive the green. It couldn't tell you that feeling you get taking a hot shower after playing 36 holes, cracking a cold beer and stepping outside to the campfire being assembled with the delivered quarts of wood courtesy of the O'Malley boys. It couldn't tell you that after sharing stories around the fire and passing around a bottle of whiskey, that if you laid down in the cool grass, you could see the clearest sky filled with stars. It couldn't tell you that drinking beer all day and killing a bottle of Jameson at the campfire would make it difficult to make your 8:30 tee time you promised Linda you'd make. Nor could it tell you that luckily the screwdrivers and bloody Marys in the clubhouse are made with magical elixirs that help pull a man back together just in time to slice your opening drive into the reeds on the first hole. Better make sure to grab a breakfast sandwich too, you'll need it around the third hole. It certainly could not tell you about the agony these vicious greens sometimes impart. It certainly would leave out what it's like to hit your tee shot over the water of the par 3 9th as the rest of your group watches on with cheers and jeers. It wouldn't be able to explain being up by 1 heading into the 18th hole only to see your tee shot land directly in the pond on the right side of the fairway. All of these need to be discovered for yourself. For our group, which has ballooned to upwards of 24 people at times, it's that treatment like we're family that keeps us coming back. We'll continue to try and make new memories and build upon our current traditions such as our Ryder cup and classic cup tournaments, the barefoot two club walking holes as the sun goes down, the tradition unlike any other of shotgunning a beer on the 7th (and 16th hole), the s'mores mix around the fire, the big kevs bbq on Friday nights, and the runs around beautiful French woods in honor of our beloved Jeff Garroway. We've come to love this place, and everyone who makes it what it is. Forever grateful, The Bender Boys

When my group was all finished and returned the cart an employee approached us, and about reprimanded us for being too slow for the league behind us. 3/4 of my group were learning to play the game. We as a courtesy skipped a hole and hurried through 2 more. The employee member questioned us who let us go out on the course or what time we went out and kept giving us a blank stare when we had nothing to tell her. Not very professional in my opinion but I could be wrong if this is how every golf course is. Loved playing the game and learning with my group but probably won't be back to play at this course.

People had been telling me how awesome this course was, so I had to go check it out. I have to say…read morethat its placement is pretty cool. The clubhouse sits atop a big hill, and the course meanders around it on all sides. There are many elevation changes, which I like, as you go uphill and them back down hill. A couple of ponds are scattered around the course. Mainly on the front nine holes. The back is much prettier than the front though. The holes range from challenging, to easy. The course was in good shape for the most part. The tees were a bit weedy, but the fairways and greens were fine. So why did I only give it 3 stars you might ask... well, a few reasons..... They don't do the little things to set themselves above other courses. One thing that I noticed. Was that they don"t accentuate their namesake. This place is littered with stone walls, and other natural hardscapes, yet the do nothing to show them off. There is no weed eating around them, planting around them, or anything to just bring your attention to them. I think that's a missed opportunity on their place. On one hole, they mow their name into a grass hillside (see picture). It"s "STONE Hedge" for christ sake. Use some and spell it out on that hill, make it stand out. Maybe some colorful flower plantings around the clubhouse will add a little splash of color to the green area. However, the thing that pissed me off, was that all the water stations I went to were empty. How do you not refill those daily in July?? That's just plain apathetic. If they just wanted to do a little bit more of the little things, they could easily get a 4 or 5 star rating.
